258 TESTIMONY OF THOMAS C. DOREMUS, JR. 



(Objected to, first, for the reason that this gentleman is not a 

 chemist and is not qualified as an expert to make that test. 

 Whether that is litmus paper and whether that is the milk of the 

 Black cow of the 24th or not we do not know. I simply put this 

 witness on the stand for the purpose of identifying what had been 

 given to test ; it is no matter of rebuttal. 

 Mr. PRENTICE I withdraw it* 



Mr. LAWRENCE Here is some milk, it is an unknown fluid ; per- 

 haps it may have been adulterated already, to the extent of 10 or 

 15 per cent. While I have not the slightest objection to the experi- 

 ment we shall want to show to the jury the effect of adding 15 per 

 cent, to pure milk. 



THE COURT Dr. Waller will proceed to make the experiment 

 with the milk. 



Dr. WALLER This milk is pretty cold ; it stands about 117. 

 By Mr. LAWRENCE Q. At what temperature, Dr. Waller? A. 

 The thermometer stands a little short of 55 ; call it 55 it is a frac- 

 tion short ; about 116 the lactometer stands now. 



Mr. PRENTICE The jury desire that reduced to 100 in the first 

 place. 



Dr. WALLER I will add about one tenth ; the water is cold and it 

 has reduced the temperature. 



By Mr. LAWRENCE Q. How much water have you added ? A. I 

 added what I roughly estimated was about 10 per cent.; it stands at 

 105. The water is a little cold, and the thermometer, when I 

 last looked at it, was 54. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. What is it now ? A. It is 54. 

 By the COURT How low did it fall? A. It came down to 105. 

 By Mr. LAWRENCE Q. About how many per cent, of water have 

 you added ? A. About 15 per cent. 



Q. Any more than that ? A. I may have added a little more than 

 that, it may be as much as 16 per cent. The thermometer stands 

 at about 55, the milk stands at 90. 



By the COURT Q. What do you mean, 15 per cent of the whole 

 volume of milk ? A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Not all the water in the milk, but all the whole milk ? A. 

 Yes, sir.
